			<description><![CDATA[This is an oldie which everyone probably knows but its worth adding in case anyone doesn't. <img src="https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/huh.png" alt="Huh" title="Huh" class="smilie smilie_17" /> You don't have to do it like this, but I do.<br />
<br />
When transplanting seedling  leeks for the table into their final positions use a dibber. Rake area flat and dibber holes at required distance. The deeper you dibber the more white your leeks will have. Leeks don't need to be too big for table use so spacing at 150mm is ample enough..<br />
After dibbering, drop in the leek (some people trim the roots and tops, but I don't bother.)<br />
<br />
Once seedling leeks are in dibbered hole, fill hole with water, and that's it. <img src="https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/cool.png" alt="Cool" title="Cool" class="smilie smilie_3" /> leave the hole open and it will allow the leek to expand as it grows.<br />
<br />
